Einstein A Go-Go Triple R Podcasts

Presenter Dr Shane is joined by Drs Allie and Linden for the latest science news. Dr Darren Haywood, postdoctoral research fellow in the Faculty of Health at the University of Technology Sydney investigates changes in concentration, memory, thinking speed and decision-making in people with a previous diagnosis of cancer. How can we support people after cancer? Dr Wenyi Li, researcher in the Department of Biochemistry and Chemistry at La Trobe University chats all things antimicrobial pepties and looks at whether they could be an alternative to conventional antibiotics. Remember, “Science is everywhere”, including: Program page: Einstein-A-Go-Go Facebook page: Einstein-A-Go-Go Twitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go

Dr Shane is joined by EAGG regulars Chris KP and Suzi, and 20 special guests as part of the ‘20 PHD Students in 20 minutes’ program. A wide range of expertise and insight covered in this special, including but not limited to; anti-hypertension medication, eating disorders in a prison environment, diabetes, fatty liver disease, forensic anthropology, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), stem cell research, oral health in boarding school, sleeping gene cells and much, much more!

Dr. Jen and Dr. Shane host a celebration for the Day of Immunology with three distinguished guests. First, Lauren Howson from WEHI's Immunology Division delves into the roles of "unconventional" immune cells in human disease, aiming to guide new therapeutic strategies, particularly for inherited primary immunodeficiency (PID). Then, Dr. Alexander Davenport, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at WEHI, focuses on enhancing T cell killing of tumour cells, targeting novel protein targets for pediatric brain cancer immunotherapies, notably Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). Lastly, writer and poet Alicia Sometimes explores dark energy and gravitational waves through art installations and collaborations with scientists, culminating in her book "Stellar Atmospheres" which combines physics, science communication, and personal experiences like her battle with breast cancer.

Dr Kim Way PhD, School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University, dives into the complexities of atrial fibrillation, a heart condition; Dr Yow Keat Tham, Group Leader, Metabolomics Laboratory, Baker Institute discusses his research into Plasmalogens, an important class of phospholipids that are abundant in tissues like the brain, muscles and heart; Dr Kim Reid, Climate Scientist, Monash University shares her experience of blending science and humour at the upcoming Melbourne International Comedy Festival's "Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition" event on 18th April. Plus, in weekly science news, the team discusses the Doherty Clinical Trials launch, and the evolution of moths in urban environments. With presenters Dr Shane, Dr Susi and Dr Ray.

Organic farming is better for the planet, right? This week Dr Shane, Dr Ray and Dr Scarlett (with Dr Gracie beaming in from the USA) learn that the answer is mostly yes, but that it’s more complicated than first thought. Thankfully, calculating the behaviour of three or more celestial bodies is still as complicated as we always knew, and the human brain remains one of the great mysteries (even if half of it is removed). Guests this week include Dr Jiadong Mao and Dr Saritha Kodikara from Melbourne Integrative Genomics - School of Mathematics and Statistics (University of Melbourne) who share their research on big health data and the importance of open source computing in their field, while PhD student Pratyush Kollepara (La Tobe University) talks about modelling infectious diseases with math and the ethics of determining the most effective solution to disease control.
